The Marquis of Lossie

You groomed Kelpie beneath the stable-yard clock of an estate that was secretly yours. The mare goes to Forres market next week; Stoat will sell her while you hold horse and tongue. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lizzy Findlay at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. As you raced back from the stable, the unnamed man stood between one abandoned mother and Florimel's approaching marriage. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
